Delay (Channel Servo Delay) - AIRTRONICS SD-10G Operating Manual

aero Flight Mode menu
Choosing the Flight Mode
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight OFFSET, then press the
ENTER key to display the OFFSET menu. The cursor will default
to EL>0%.
2) Press the F-MODE key to choose the F-MODE number you would like
to program the Offset function for. Choose from N, 1, 2, 3, or 4. The
F-MODE (N) display will change, indicating which Flight Mode you are
programming the Offset function for.
The channels displayed will vary based on Model Type and Model Type selection options currently selected. For example,
if your model features dual elevator servos, LE and RE will be displayed and the Offset for both servos can be adjusted.
IMPORTANT To avoid confusion from Offset servo positions causing an unexpected trim problem (such as taking off with
the servos in an Offset position, we recommend programming the Offset to a Flight Mode other than your Normal Flight Mode.
Changing the Offset Percentage Values
IMPORTANT The Offset function shifts the neutral position of the servo, along with the two End Points. For example, with the
elevator Offset set to 10% in the Up direction, when the Offset function is Activated using the Flight Mode switch, the elevator
control surface will move Up 10% further and Down 10% less. 100% percent control deflection is maintained, however, the
neutral position of the servo (and the control surface) is shifted 10% in the Up direction.
The neutral position of the servo will shift the same percentage that you set the Offset percentage value for when the Offset
function is Activated, regardless of control stick position. For example, if you set 10% elevator Offset and the elevator control
stick is at neutral, the elevator servo neutral position will shift 10% (Up or Down) when the Offset function is Activated. If you're
holding a certain amount of elevator, then Activate the Offset function, the elevator will move 10% further (Up or Down) from the
currently held position.
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight the desired channel you
would like to change the Offset setting for.
2) Press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to set the desired Offset percentage
value.
OFFSET setting range is -100% to 100%. The default setting is 0%.
WARNING Depending on the ratio between your servo Limits setting and your Offset setting, there could be limited usable
control throw. For example, if your servo Limits are set to 100% and your Offset is set to 50%, this will result in only 50%
usable control throw in one direction.
3) Repeat the previous procedures to set the desired remaining Offset percentage values.

The Channel Delay function allows you to adjust the speed of individual servos. This function has several uses. For example,
not all servos operate at the same exact speed. If your model uses two separate elevator servos, you may find that even though
the servos are the same, one servo may move faster than the other. You can use the Channel Delay function to slow down the
faster servo to match the slower servo. The Channel Delay function can also be used to slow down a servo that controls flaps or
mechanical retractable landing gear to achieve a more scale transit time.
The Channel Delay function can be programmed to operate in a number of different combinations to suit just about any model
setup or control function need. Up to five Channel Delay functions can be programmed separately for each of the five Flight
Modes or you can use the same Channel Delay programming across all five Flight Modes.
The Channel Delay function does not affect when the servo starts to respond to control stick movement. The Channel
Delay function affects only the transit time of the servo.
